Choosing a Reddit client is a personal preference, and what you might enjoy, others might not. There technically isn't a single best client, and it really comes down to you liking the look and feel. Here, I've listed all the popular clients for Android along with their features. If you click the name of the client, you can see a screenshot of how the client will look (on /r/books).

With Reddit's 2023 API changes, many developers started charging for their app that used to be free while some abandoned their app and migrated it to another social platform such as Lemmy. We can get around this by "patching" the app, in order to make it function.
